This week my oldest daughter is on a mission trip, so my little one wanted an adventure with mommy! While I love visiting one of St. Louis’s many awesome attractions, I felt like exploring a neighborhood with my audacious little girl. Since I adore Jeni’s Ice Cream (I rated it as my fave in my St. Louis ice cream post), we decided to check … Continue reading Central West End (St. Louis)
So some time back I raved about Renegade Tours as part of my Couples Weekend post. If you clicked on their site, you might notice some changes! They have partnered with the Missouri History Museum to become See STL Walking Tours. This means easier booking, and you’re more likely to have others with you on the tour, bringing down the cost. Recently, my awesome husband … Continue reading St. Louis History Tour (See STL Walking Tours)
I’ll admit when I first heard of the Botanical Gardens, I pictured my grandparents wandering around talking about crocuses. Now that I have visited several times, I can say it’s way more exciting than that! Whether you are a huge flower lover, like beautiful walks, or are looking for a fun play area for the kids, the gardens offer a little something for everybody! … Continue reading Missouri Botanical Gardens
So things have changed since I first started this article. Right now we’re all on stay at home orders and going to visit these bookstores is out of the question. However, I’m publishing this post now, because we all need books right now and all of these stores offer curbside pick-up and shipping. Some have even done well at keeping up with online content! This … Continue reading Independent Bookstore Tour
St. Louis winters usually have me huddling inside on days when the temperature drops below zero, but in January the Delmar Loop draws me out into the cold for the annual Ice Carnival. As a kid, the cold never bothered me if there was fun to be had (very Elsa like I know) and every year the eccentric Loop embraces the freezing temperatures to bring … Continue reading Ice Carnival in the Loop
Every year around mid-September my family starts thinking about Eckert’s. If you’re not from St. Louis, the name Eckert’s might not mean much, but for my family it means fall, apple crisp, and hayrides! Eckert’s is a family owned orchard with several locations. My family most often visits the Belleville, Illinois location, about 25 minutes from downtown St. Louis, but there also locations in Grafton, … Continue reading Eckert’s
Pompeii Until November the St. Louis Science Center gives you the opportunity to travel to ancient Pompeii, Italy. Italy is the top of my bucket list, so I take any chance to get closer to the country, plus who doesn’t have a fascination with this city that was wiped out in a day! While my grandfather was in town we took the whole family to … Continue reading St. Louis Science Center Pompeii Exhibit
This summer going away for vacation wasn’t really an option, but the girls and I had a weekend while dad was on a business trip that I wanted to make special. We do the usual children’s spots like the zoo and magic house over the summer, so I decided to really make it feel like we were out-of-towners getting to know St. Louis. We would … Continue reading St. Louis Scavenger Hunt, 3 Quest
Pay no attention to the name, this is not your typical museum or about the city. They couldn’t name it, “Concrete Jungle Gym/Aquarium/Pedestrian Skate Park/Art Creativity Center,” so I guess City Museum just had to do. This is my children’s all time favorite St. Louis destination and one that can’t help but make me smile! So what is it? Well it used to be a … Continue reading St. Louis City Museum
Summer in St. Louis wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Muny! This outdoor theater has been St. Louis’s musical mecca for 101 years and has always been magic to me. As a little girl obsessed with musical theater, getting to see a show was always the highlight of my summer. As an adult (still obsessed with musical theater) I love watching my girls … Continue reading The Muny
